In terms of my own theory, i think Kassandra is involved both geographically and allegorically in this diagram. Her story links the history of the world with mythology, and in fact leads to a history of history, of mythology, and of knowledge, which links up with Plato's allegories regarding truth, which connects back to Cassandra again, in terms of the truth not being believed. I see connections with quire 14 with regard to this as well.

It is very possible that several myths and themes are mixed in intricate ways, and I like the way you think. The authors apparently tried to maximize ambiguity, even in the way they wrote glyphs that morphed into each other. They apparently liked to insert hidden meanings too. Maybe the most obvious are the human profile in a vine and the lion in a root. So there can be several layers of understanding, some much more difficult to grasp than others. Speculatively speaking many interpretations are possible and nothing can be 100 % certain until the text is understood. The labeled tubes on top of f. 77r and 77v could be related to astronomy through mythology. For example Eridanus was a river that the gods placed in the sky. In Hindu mythology "The Ganges River of the Sky" is the Milky Way. Similar ideas may have appeared in many places to explain how water magically appeared in the sky. That's my guess, anyway.
